| 0:13.0 | And it just occurred to me one day that I was learning so much and I was so grateful for having these conversations, |
| 0:23.6 | but my children would never be able to have those conversations. My grandchildren would never |
| 0:29.7 | be able to have those conversations that I was having and learning what I was learning |
| 0:34.5 | about these people. And I just said to myself, |
| 0:37.8 | there's gotta be a way to replicate the experience |
| 0:41.7 | of having sort of a Q&A or a conversation with somebody, |
